Chapter Six

With Mai's help Serenity sent out the invitations to all their friends and family and just before she put the invitation into the envelope that Rene had made out for her deceased parents she whispered "Momma and Daddy I know that your smiling down on us today and I hope that you love Marik as much as I love him and pretty soon we'll be giving you another grandchild."

She placed the invitation and as Mai wiped her tears away Rene sealed the envelope and placed it in her mother's Bible and placed it back on the shelf near their couch. This is what the invitations said:

You are hereby invited to attend the Wedding Of

Marik Ishtar

To

Serenity Beth Wheeler

On this day of February 15, 2008

To be held at Domino City Park near the foot bridge

The guests are asked to dress casual.

The Bride will be dressed in a beautiful peasant gown and the groom will be dressed appropriately in a white gaucho shirt and casual slacks. Both will be wearing sandals.

The reception will be held after the Wedding, there will be refreshments and non- alcoholic drinks.

Please R. S. V. P as soon as possible…

After they had them all sealed and addressed Mai and Rene put the stamps on and Mai took Rene to the post office and she mailed them all out and now all she had to do was wait to see if everyone was coming or not.

Two days later she got calls from everyone she had sent invitations to and they were all coming, so now they had to make sure that the refreshments, the chairs and that the D. J. that Joey hired were all going to be there and on time.

Today is the day of the Wedding and Marik is a complete nervous wreck and it's all that Bakura and Joey can do to hold him together. He keeps saying "She's to good for me and what does she see in me?"

Bakura finally had to smack his friend and he bloodied his nose and then Ishizu came and nearly knocked out Bakura and soon she had them ready and as she told her brother "Listen sure you're going to be nervous but aren't you also happy to be marrying Serenity and making her your wife and know that she's just as nervous as you are."

Serenity, Mai and Melissa came to the Park in the limo that Seto ordered and as the driver let them out near where Joey would be walking his sister to her husband to be, then Seto came and escorted Melissa and Mai to the place on the other side of the foot bridge and two of Serenity's friends started singing a song that she and Marik picked out and this is what they sang till the time for the bride to come walking over the bridge.

You Are The Love Of My Life - George Benson

You Are The Love Of My Life
I knew it right from the start
The moment I looked at you
You found a place in my heart

You Are The Love Of My Life
You give me reason to live
You taught me how to be strong
With you is where I belong

No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have

You Are The Love Of My Life
One thing that's good in this life
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you

You Are The Love Of My Life
The heart and soul of my life
Once I was lost and alone
With you at last I am home

You Are The Love Of My Life
You give me reason to live
You give me so much of you
And leave me room to be free

No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have

You Are The Love Of My Life
One thing that's good in this life
And in a world full of change
One thing I'm sure of

You Are The Love Of My Life
The one thing that makes sense in this world
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you...

You Are The Love Of My Life
And I thank GOD I'm alive
To spend my lifetime with you
You Are The Love Of My Life.

When the young ladies were through singing then Seto motioned that it was time for the bride to come walking over the bridge. Joey was so proud to be escorting his sister who by the way was so beautiful over the foot bridge and to the place where Marik with his best man Bakura was waiting. As Joey and Rene were walking he softly whispered to her "Sis you look so much like mom in that beautiful gown" she started to cry a little as she said "Thanks it means the world to me that you're happy for us and I love you big brother."

As they walked over to where Marik was Joey placed Rene's hand in his and Joey said "Take care and love her with all your love." Marik shook his hand and then he kissed Rene's hand and they turned to the Minister who said "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join these two young people in Holy Wedlock, if anyone here doesn't think that they should marry speak now or forever hold your peace.

Then the Minister said "Each of this young people have written their own vows and I'm going to ask Serenity to read hers first.

Serenity's Vows:

Today I take you as my husband, and father of our baby. I never really knew what true love was until the day you came into my life and swept me off my feet and together we walked hand in hand down the path to our future, it was the best day of my life except when the doctor told me I was going to have your baby. I Serenity Beth Wheeler take you Marik as my husband, my best friend and father of my child to have and to hold till death us do part. I will love you forever.

And now Marik will you please read your vows.

Marik's Vows:

Today I take you as my wife and mother of our baby, it is the best day of my life other then the day you told me that I was going to be a father. When we first met I never thought that I had a chance to ever know what real love was till you took my hand and showed me exactly what love really is. I Marik Ishtar take you Serenity Beth Wheeler as my wife, my best friend and mother of my child to have and to hold till death us do part. I will love you forever.

When they were through there was no dry eyes anywhere and then the Minister said "May I please have the rings"

Mai and Joey handed him the rings and then he said "Serenity take this ring and place it on Marik's finger and repeat after me, Marik I give you this ring as a symbol of my love for you and with this ring I thee wed."

Serenity place the ring on Marik's finger and repeated the words and now he looked at Marik and he said "Marik take this ring and place it on Serenity's finger and repeat after me, Serenity I give you this ring as a symbol of my love for you and with this ring I thee wed."

After they both did this then the Minister said "I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your bride." After Marik kissed her the Minister then said "I want to introduce to all of you Mr. & Mrs. Marik Ishtar may your love last till the end of time."

Everyone stood and cheered and then they all come up and kissed and hugged both of them and then Mai said "Everyone, come on lets go celebrate." So they all walked over to the basketball court that Seto had all decorated and Joey said "It is time that Marik and Serenity dance the first dance as husband and wife." He nodded to his friend Tony who started the record of the song that Serenity wanted to dance to with her husband. As Marik took Serenity into his arms he whispered "You're so beautiful you make my heart ache to take you in my arms and love you for all eterinty.

Here is the song she chose…

The Way You Love Me by Faith Hill

If I could grant
You one wish
I'd wish you could see the way you kiss
Ooh, I love watching you
Baby
When you're driving me crazy

Ooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see the way you love me
The way you love

It's not right
It's not fair
What you're missing over there
Someday I'll find a way to show you
Just how lucky I am to know you

Ooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see the way you love me
The way you love me

You're the million reasons why
There's love reflecting in my eyes

Ooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see the way you love me
The way you love me
The way you love me

Ooh, the way you love me
The way you love me

When the song was over Tony put one more on and everyone danced to this one and it was the best celebration anyone had ever been to…

This Kiss by Faith Hill

I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry, no
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby hello, oh no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky

It' s the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centripetal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, impossible
This kiss, this kiss
Unstoppable
This kiss, this kiss

Cinderella said to Snow White
";How does love get so off course
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby I'm forever yours";

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centripetal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah unthinkable
This kiss, this kiss
Unsinkable
This kiss, this kiss

You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky, oh
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside, oh
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let everything slide
You got me floating
You got me flying

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centripetal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) subliminal
This kiss, this kiss
It's criminal
This kiss, this kiss

It's the way you love me baby
It's the way you love me, darlin'

It' s the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centripetal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) subliminal
This kiss, this kiss
It's criminal
This kiss, this kiss

It's the way you love me baby
It's the way you love me darlin'

By the time the celebration was over and everyone had gone home, Marik walked his bride to the waiting limo and it took them to the best hotel in Domino and they stayed there for two days before they went back home. It was the most magical time for either of them….
